Thumbs down Punished enough?

Well, now, my friend, now that the decision is in, do you feel enough punishment was meted out?

I would also point out that many of the ones who conciously defended Federal Vision have already run for cover. Most of the ones left in the majority now in the presbytery are the ones who were trying to deal with the errors all along.

There is some confusion over at Green Baggins now over the prosecutor trying to read into the official report things that are not there, but I've called his hand on it.

As one who bears a lot of authority every day of my working life --
as you have -- I fear there are some in our church courts who get a little authority and try to exercise it regardless of what the facts are. We all need to remember the warning -- let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 10:12.
